Kishtwar/Doda, June 03, 2026: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking and its financial networks, Doda Police has attached a residential property worth approximately ₹52 lakh under the provisions of Chapter VA of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985.
The action was taken in connection with FIR No. 93/2026 registered at Police Station Doda under Sections 8/21/22/29/25/27A/20 of the NDPS Act. During the course of investigation, police recovered substantial quantities of narcotic substances, cash proceeds, and other incriminating material, indicating the involvement of the accused in illicit drug trafficking activities.
The investigation was conducted by the SHO, Police Station Doda, under the close supervision of the DySP Headquarters, Doda. A detailed financial probe established that a double-storeyed residential house with a basement located at Sadiqabad, Doda, owned by Zareena Begum W/o Late Ghulam Ali, had allegedly been acquired through proceeds generated from illegal narcotics trade.
The property, assessed at approximately ₹51.91 lakh, has been attached under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act pending further proceedings before the Competent Authority.
Police stated that the attachment was carried out after establishing a clear nexus between the property and proceeds derived from drug trafficking. The accused persons involved in the case are facing legal proceedings under the NDPS Act, while efforts are underway to identify and attach any additional assets found to have been acquired through illicit means.
Reiterating its zero-tolerance policy against drug trafficking, Doda Police said it remains committed to targeting not only those involved in the narcotics trade but also the financial infrastructure sustaining such illegal activities.
The public has been urged to continue supporting law enforcement agencies by sharing information related to drug trafficking and substance abuse, thereby strengthening collective efforts toward building a drug-free society.
